Made by the same people who made Age of Empires I and II, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds is an excellent game. Just about everything from AoE has been translated into ST:GB. Players of AoE will instantly be able to play SW:GB and will enjoy the few extras that are there. For one, the graphics look amazing. For another, there are a few more researchable upgrades not available in the previous games. The only drawback is the lack of playable civilizations. Only being able to play as six civs (Empire, Trade Federation, Gungans, Wookies, Rebels, and the Naboo) limits the replayability, even though it doubles the civs playable in Starcraft. Overall a very enjoyable game, with especially high praise for the soundtrack.
